North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 67 The Headless Case

Superintendent Karger arrived at the scene 20 minutes later.Kager opened the trunk and took out the test kit, and took out a pair of gloves from his pocket, and led Jimmy into the room while listening to Jimmy explain the process.

Karg first checked the doors and windows for signs of lock picking, and then observed whether there were footprints around. It was clear that Jimmy went in and no one entered the house behind, so the footprints were very important.The door was kicked open by Jimmy, and there are 2 footprints on it, which match Jimmy's shoes, so there is no need to record it.

Kag found half of the shoe print at the door, only the sole of the foot, and it was still very pale. Obviously, the person who came had cleaned his shoes outside, leaving only a little dust. He placed a ruler next to him and took pictures, and then Circle around with a marker.

Carger continued to walk around the house to determine if there were exits elsewhere, and whether there were marks on the windows, in order to determine whether the suspect entered and exited from other places.

Continue to check inside from the front door, and the few footprints found were left by Jimmy when he entered the house, and no more footprints were found inside.

Kag checked the shoe cabinet in the hallway, but found no similar sneakers, and the footprints at the door were almost certainly not the deceased's.

Karg went upstairs, checked the wound on the head of the corpse and the bullet hole on the wall in the bedroom, took out a tape measure to measure the width of the bullet hole, and then took pictures of these. After everything was done, he took a pair of tweezers Diandian took out the broken bullets in the wall and put them into the evidence bag.

"Jimmy, have you gone out to see if Dr. Kevin is here?"

Jimmy walked out, and the coroner, Dr. Kevin Smith, and his assistants were already waiting at the door.Jimmy shook hands with Dr. Kevin and told him to go straight upstairs for a checkup.

Dr. Kevin performed an initial examination and then had emergency personnel come up and take the body down.

Kager asked Jimmy to raise his hand to simulate the position of the gun shot in the head of the deceased. When he was in the same line as the bullet hole on the wall, Kager walked to the door and stretched out his hand to simulate the pistol from the door to reproduce the murder scene.

This hand is obviously an experience. According to the normal ballistic calculation, it is necessary to measure the bullet holes, and use laser light or hand-drawn wires to locate the position of the shooter and the height of the gun.

Karg judged the location of the murderer and the height of the gun, and motioned Jimmy to put his hand down. He turned to face the door, took out a fingerprint developer and sprayed it on the doorknob. The fingerprints on it were very dense, and the interlaced fingerprints were blurry, but there were still a few A relatively complete one, Kag collected the fingerprints and put them in the evidence bag.

After looking at several rooms, they were relatively complete and had not been turned over in a mess, which further showed that this case was a deliberate murder.

Carg took Jimmy out of the house, looked around, and said to Jimmy, "Jimmy, go around and ask the neighbors to see if they have heard gunshots, and if they have noticed any abnormal people, by the way Find out who has installed a surveillance camera nearby, and check it out.”

"Okay." Jimmy walked to the surrounding neighbors and asked from door to door. Some of them didn't knock on the door, but it didn't matter, because none of the people around heard the gunshots, and they didn't notice any abnormal people nearby. walk around.

"Kag, the problem is a bit big. They didn't hear the gunshots. There should be silencers. If it was a normal gunshot, it's impossible for everyone not to hear it. In addition, there is no surveillance here, so it is difficult to obtain information. "

"Well, let's go back first, check the traffic camera video, and enter the fingerprint into the fingerprint database for comparison."

"Traffic cameras are unlikely to locate suspects. As far as I know, the surrounding intersections are all small intersections and are not installed."

Kag and Jimmy did not continue patrolling, but returned directly to the police station, scanned the extracted fingerprints into the computer, submitted them to the fingerprint database, and waited for the results.

The coroner's office called, the autopsy was done, Kager went to get the autopsy report himself, and Jimmy waited in front of the computer for a match.

The matching result came out. Jimmy took the printed result and looked at it. There was no matching result. A total of three fingerprints were collected, and none of them matched.

This fingerprint database is a fingerprint database for criminals. All criminals who have been arrested will leave fingerprint backups. The matching is successful, so it can be reversed to this case.

Carger came back with the autopsy report and the bullet report from the lab along the way.

"Jimmy, the report is out, you write a case report and submit it. The cause of death was a bullet in the head, the bullet was a 9mm Parabellum pistol, the model of the pistol is unknown.

The following are the speculated characteristics of the suspect. Based on the wound and the single hole on the wall, it is basically determined that the murderer is about 180 centimeters tall. The shoe prints should be some kind of sports shoes. It is impossible to guess the gender of the suspect. No one in the surrounding residents heard the gunshots, and it is suspected that the silencer was used According to the sales volume of bullets and common pistols, it may be Beretta 92F plus silencer. "

"Okay." Jimmy took the report and began to fill in the case report. Before this kind of textual matters, Jimmy had always been lazy, writing as little as he could, simplifying as much as he could, and getting it done quickly. But this time, the case involving death , It’s troublesome, on-site investigation, case evidence, autopsy report, warhead report, suspect’s characteristics, etc., all these things are done, don’t go on patrol today, you can get off work directly.

Jimmy finished the report, it was dark, he put the report directly on Kag's desk, went to change the equipment, finished it and went home.

Jimmy's police car has become a common use of the police station, and the person who takes over at night will choose one to drive this car to patrol, and by the way, test whether the police lights are normal at night.

It seems that Kag and Jimmy didn't do anything, they just simply recorded some content and put the case on hold. The key is that they don't have so much energy on this kind of non-existent case. Every year in the United States, there are very, very There are so many cases like this, and every police station has cases that have not been solved for several years, ten years or even decades.

If this case is later considered to be related to other cases, it can be investigated together with other cases and continue to be dealt with at that time.

You may think that they are very childish, and they are not as thorough as the policemen in movies and TV shows, but this is the reality. The overall homicide detection rate in the United States is just over 50%. In recent years, there are about 16000-20000 homicides in the United States every year Floating, there are many cases in the United States that have been shelved without any conditions to solve the case.By the way, the murder detection rate in China has been above 99% in recent years. You can refer to the data released by the Ministry of Public Security.

For the U.S. police, if no one reports the crime, or no corpse is found, it means that there is no homicide. At most, it can be regarded as a general shooting case and a closing report will be done.
